Best Intake Manifold

Im looking to build a 383 LT1 and am looking to use the AFR 227 cc heads and was wondering if anyone had a good idea on a intake manifold or is a ported stock one adiqute?

A ported LT4 manifold will handle lots of power. With those heads I'm like 99% sure you'll need one over an LT1 manifold.

A stock ported stock manifold will work fine. But I suppose it depends on how far you're looking to take your build. Outside the realm of the stock manifold, intakes can get very expensive. Fortunately the stock manifold can handle big power as-cast, assisting people's budget significantly.
